Thank you Patrick and Tord for pointing this out!
It is the new "ucinewgame" command, introduced by Arena 1.08, that confuses Terra 3.2 to repeat the "uci" command once again and then be completely out of sync. This new uci spec wasn't invented at that time!
The later versions of 3.3 doesn't work in the same way and isn't affected but that's by pure coincidence.
I don't think it's a good idea to use 1.08 with the new protocol for engines that are not written and tested for that protocol. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more engines with similar problems.
Of course Terra should just ignore unknown commands but in Terra 3.2 I invented "ucinewgame" as an internal command to take care of the problem not knowing when a game started so it wasn't really unknown but shown up in the wrong context!
I don't know the exact rules for your tournament but you could use later versions of Terra (then tell me) or Arean 1.07.
You could also use the WB protocol in Arena 1.08 (it's an UCI contest, I know)!

Hi Peter,
For the moment just Terra seems affect by that problem.
I restart the tournament with Arena 1.05; this is the third same tournament
The results of Terra in the two fist tournaments don't include in the Uci Engines Ligue Rating.
Now I use Arena 1.05 for my tournaments

Not bad! But a great portion of luck was needed. Shared the victory with Frenzee and who won is more like a lottery...
Thank you for all your efforts! I suppose you lost some hours due to Arena/Terra problems,
